Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
assessment of pain score assessed on a scale of 0 to 5 (wong baker face pain scale) in patients receiving different interventions and to assess whether temperature/ketorolac/ temperature+ketorolac have any effect on lowering of the pain.Timepoint: assessment of pain score assessed on a scale of 0 to 5 (on wong baker faces pain scale) in patients receiving different interventions—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
